Boulder County’s demolition contractor is expected to begin razing the onetime church and former home of Longmont Christian School, on the east side of the 500 block of Coffman Street, on Thursday morning, county officials said.

The building that once housed the church, and later the school, is to be the site of a 110-space parking lot for county employees working in the St. Vrain Complex of county government offices on the west side of Coffman.

On July 8, crews from Alpine Demolition began deconstructing the one-story buildings that are part of that current office complex. The county will be constructing a new three-story, 75,000 square-foot building there.
